Experience an enchanting evening filled with hidden gems of songs that traverse the landscapes of different countries and evoke a variety of emotions. Rich in melody and harmonic exploration, these songs: piano pieces and nocturnes offer insight into the emotional depths of Schubert and Fauré. Brahms sang of love, Mahler grappled with human existence, Rachmaninoff spoke of dreams and ideals on the vast earth, and Strauss incorporated elements from nature into his songs. All these musical treasures come from various countries: Germany, Austria, France, Russia. These hidden jewels are true masterpieces, representing the "romantic" era when people walked hand in hand with art. Tonight, we can sense a whiff of these true masterpieces.
